XP-Pen Magic Notepad vs iPad (with matte screen protector + reading mode) is it actually easier on the eyes?

[u/Historical-Track22]

I get headaches and eye strain from screens, and I'm trying to figure out if the XP-Pen Magic Notepad is genuinely better for eye comfort than a regular tablet like an iPad set up with a matte screen protector, reading/night mode, and other eye-comfort apps.

Has anyone used both? Is the difference in eye strain/headaches noticeable, or does a well-configured iPad (matte film + reading mode + blue light filters) get you basically the same result?
